European Commission VP Points at Trump, Brexit to Warn Nationalism ‘Road to War’

Frans Timmermans, the vice president of the European Commission, pointed to President Donald Trump as an example of the “politics of paranoia,” and warned the West that such shock elections are indicative of looming wars.

Here we go – another elitist politician who thinks freedom and self-governance are notions of peasants.

Frans Timmermans, vice president of the European Commission, launched a thinly veiled attack at President Donald Trump as representative of all that’s been bad in government and politics in recent times.

Specifically, Timmermans referred to Trump’s election, as well as to the Brexit vote, as “disruptive forces of xenophobia, intolerance and liberalism,” the Express reported.

And, he warned, during a speech to the Future Force Conference, Europe better take notice and adjust accordingly.

“‘In Europe, we see the return of the politics of paranoia. Fuelled by alternative facts in Internet echo chambers, the disruptive forces of xenophobia, intolerance, illiberalism and nationalism and are on the march.

“‘New parties are peddling old, dangerous ideas.

“‘Brexit, Turkey, Poland, Hungary and even in the Western Balkans we see the return of fault lines in Europe. Not an iron curtain of machine guns and minefields, but a barrier of the mind, between inclusion and exclusion, between open and closed societies.’”
